One a positive note, my cousin got good news about her cancer. While it is invasive, she had clear margins and it didn’t spread to her lymph nodes! This is the best news, considering the circumstances! Thanks for all your thoughts and wishes!!

Nancy Moyer: Missing

Nancy Moyer went missing on March 6th, after a typical day of work at the Washington state Department of Ecology. She gave a co-worker, Matthew Vandrush, a ride home that night. On Sunday evening, when Nancy’s ex-husband, Bill Moyer, returned their children to her home, she wasn’t there. Her front door was ajar, there was a glass of wine poured on the table, half-consumed, and her TV was on, but Nancy was nowhere to be found.

Read moreVandrush says he thinks he might have been the last person to see Nancy before she vanished. Here is video of Vandrush and Moyer’s ex-husband, Bill, talking about her disappearance.

Unfortnuately, when I watch the video, I don’t see enough to formulate any opinions. Sometimes when I watch people, I get an immediate sense they are honest. Other times, I get an immediate sense they aren’t. In this situation, I am left in the middle, without enough information to formulate my thoughts. I will say Vandrush peaks my interest more than Moyer, however, but not notable enough to come to any conclusions.

So, at this point, I need to see more. I’ve seen the CBS interview with Bill Moyer as well, at this point.

Thanks!

Thanks for all the well wishes for my cousin, Carol, and for us with the carbon monoxide! We have installers here now working on the furnace, and because we are moving it, we won’t likely have heat until tomorrow, but I am not complaining. I feel blessed 🙂

One Heckofa Day

My dogs were acting strange today. One of them, actually, was having trouble standing upright, and couldn’t walk this morning. She acted drunk. At first I thought she might be going into liver failure (as she has hepatitis and is 16 years old), but when I added up the pieces and her symptoms, it didn’t add up. Both dogs slept in super late, but I wrote it off on the fact it was a gloomy, dark day outside–even though it was exceptionally unusual for them to do this. They usually ask for breakfast, and one demands it, but not today.

Read moreAs I sat comforting my woozy dog, petting her and crying, I got this nagging feeling about our furnace, which I’ve had for weeks. Just last week, I asked my husband to test it, but he ignored me.

When I realized it could be carbon monoxide (though our two wall detectors didn’t go off), I turned off the heat, opened all the windows, and got a new hand-held tester we bought last year after we found out we had three dangerous gas leaks. Sure enough, when I put over the heat register, it alerted to a leak. I smelled no gas, so the likely culprit was carbon monoxide.

I put my doggies on the porch and called a gas guy. Sure enough, we had a leak. Our heat exchanger is cracked and from my reading, that is serious business. So tonight we sit in a cold house, trying to decide which furnace to buy tomorrow.

And my dog, who was most affected, popped back out of it after a half hour on the front porch. She started walking normally and asked for a walk within no time. I was wondering why she was weak and didn’t want to walk this week. Now I know why. Tonight she is her old self again.

I am so grateful that I figure this one out before my dogs succumbed to this deadly gas. We’ve been having headaches, and have been extra tired. Both dogs seemed to slow down a lot in the past two to three weeks. I wondered if it was old age at times. I should have listened to my gut instinct a week ago and demanded my husband spend 10 minutes to do a simple test, or I should have done it myself. I didn’t think I could operate that little beast of a thing, but I learned today.

Tonight, I am grateful for the simple blessings, the love of my dogs and my husband, even if we don’t have heat. We are safe.
